take too long to long in to the domain

[Skykiller]

im getting error Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. ). Group Policy processing aborted. Userenv in the event viewer.
DNS of the computers is the DC DNS of the DN is 127.0.0.1
I have DNS setup on the DC but I dont think its done right.
Can somone go step by step with me?
my DNS servers are 205.152.144.235
205.152.132.235

Any help would be great!

Thanks

ur DC DNS should be internal DNS, not your ISP, being said, your workstation should point to DC DNS , not ISP DNS.

Your DC should point to itself in it's network properties.

You should have your ISP's DNS servers as "Name Servers" in your forward lookup zone in your DNS setup.

All clients then point to your internal DNS (your DC) in their network properties.

not 127.0.0.1...
it's actual network IP address!!!

get the DC to refer to itself, its actual internal LAN IP address, and it will be able to register it's DC services with DNS.
check and see if your DNS zone is dynamic, if not, make it so!

generally, it's better to have your zone AD integrated too... but his depends on how many DNS servers you have...
